Breakdown and Then

[Verse 1]

Crown prince of the crying jag

Stuffs a towel in his mouth to gag

Oh, my darling, I never knew

How hard it was to get rid of you

Smashed on our virgin date

How did I reach that state?

The day ends again and then

Darling, here comes that breakdown

And then…

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

Struck down by my own device

Sweet Jesus, ice-cold Christ

You drowned in the dining room

Resurrection, it came too soon

God, it's cold in this room

Hopped up on fever's croon

Just two more love-dumb fools

Here comes that breakdown

And then…

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Loading the gun again

Dead lead goes in and then

Catch as catch can and can't

Catch cold and fall apart

Cold as a distant star

Hot as a stolen car

I choke on this heart of hate

Sometimes I find it hard

To get things straight

[Instrumental Outro]
